Support Health. Keep Things Running. Make a Difference.

Are you organised, great with people, and looking for a role that makes a real impact?

We’re looking for enthusiastic and proactiveImmunisation Team Assistantsto join our busy Children and Young People’s Community Immunisation Service inLewisham.

This role is perfect if you enjoy a mix of admin work, people-facing tasks, and being part of a friendly, purpose-driven team.

What the role looks like:

Each day is different — and that’s part of what makes it rewarding. You might be:

· Out on the road helping the team run school-based immunisation clinics — managing class lists, helping organise pupils, and keeping things on track.

· Back in the office answering phone calls, texting appointment reminders, or chasing up consent forms.

· Supporting the team with stock ordering and equipment checks.

· Speaking to schools and parents to confirm clinic dates and share information.

· Entering accurate data and keeping our admin systems up to date.

You’ll be the admin backbone of the service — keeping everything organised so the clinical team can focus on what they do best.



A bit about you:

· You’re confident on the phone and happy talking to a range of people — from busy school staff to concerned parents.

· You’re calm under pressure and can keep things moving in lively, sometimes noisy, environments (school halls can get loud!).

· You’re a team player but can also work independently and manage your own tasks.

· You’ve got basic IT skills and are comfortable learning new systems.

· You’re flexible and happy to travel across your borough for school and clinic visits (you’ll usually be based in your local borough office when not out and about).

What we offer:

· A supportive, friendly team who’ll make sure you feel part of things from day one.

· Induction, on-the-job training and away days with other admin colleagues.

· A meaningful role where you’ll see the difference you make every day — helping young people stay healthy and services run smoothly.

· Term-time working with regular hours — perfect for those who like a predictable routine with some variety.



We’re recruiting in multiple boroughs across South London, including: Kingston and Richmond, Lambeth and Southwark, Merton and Sutton, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley, Bromley, Wandsworth, and Croydon.

If you have a preference for where you’d like to work, please let us know in your application.
